... 'From the time I was in your womb,' Maui went on, 'I have known the names of these children of yours. Listen,' he said as he pointed to his brothers in turn. 'You are Maui mua, you are Maui roto, you are Maui taha, and you are Maui pae. And as for me, I am Maui potiki, Maui-the-last-born. And here I am.' When he had finished, Taranga had to wipe her eyes because there were tears in them, and she said: 'You are indeed my lastborn son. You are the child of my old age. When I had you, no one knew, and what you have been saying is the truth. Well, as you were formed out of my topknot you can be Maui tikitiki a Taranga.' So that became his name, meaning Maui-formed-in-the-topknot-of-Taranga. And this is very strange, because women in those days did not have topknots. The topknot was the most sacred part of a person, and only men had them ...

 ... On the late afternoon of the June solstice, towards sunset, we reached Ahu Akivi near the centre of the western side of Easter Island. This is an inland site, 3 kilometers from the coast. Like Ahu Nau Nau at Anakena, it has seven Moai, but in this case none of them have topknots and, uniquely, all face west towards the sea - which is clearly visible from the high point on which they stand ...

... He got up, the path went uphill, and he came (back) to the house. It was dark when he reached the house. When he came to the yam plantation of Kuukuu, he sat down. Night was falling. Ira asked Makoi the following question: 'How did you fare when you wandered, when you went searching, when you found yourself on the path of the dream soul of the father?' Makoi replied, 'There are indeed all those places. I did not forget them at all (? kai viri kai viri) when I saw them (text corrected, i-ui-nei). I alone saw no fewer than four of my [sic!] places, and I returned here only because night was falling.' Then Ira spoke again: 'How did you name them, last-born?'  Makoi replied, 'This is what happened, this is how I gave the names. I wrote (ta) Te Manavai A Hau Maka on the surface of a banana leaf (kaka), and this is how I left it.' This is how Makoi remembered it. No sooner had he said this, when Ira gew angry and quarrelled with Makoi. He said the following (to him): 'You did not pay attention, last-born, and you did not give the (full) name. This is how it should be: the Manavai of Hau Maka of Hiva, in memory (mo aringa ora) of the father, of his dream soul.' Makoi replied, 'In Hiva the land belongs to him - this land here is mine, not his!' [E:21]

... They stayed (there longer). On the fifth day of the month of July (Anakena) [day 186 + 41 = 227], they all got up, went downhill, went on, and reached Hanga Te Pau. They took their provisions with them, carrying them on their shoulders, went on, and reached Te Pou. They made camp and slept in Te Pou on the tenth of the month of July (Anakena). Then they all got up, carried their provision on their shoulders, went straight ahead, and followed the path of the dream soul of Hau Maka. They came to Hua Reva and said, This is Hua Reva A Hau Maka!

Hau Maka had a dream. The dream soul of Hau Maka moved in the direction of the sun (i.e., toward the East). When, through the power of her mana, the dream soul had reached seven lands, she rested there and looked around carefully. The dream soul of Hau Maka said the following: 'As yet, the land that stays in the dim twilight during the fast journey has not been reached.'

NGA KOPE RIRIVA TUTUU VAI A TE TAANGA PU MAHORE

The dream soul of Hau Maka continued her journey and, thanks to her mana, reached another land. She descended on one of the small islets (off) the coast. The dream soul of Hau Maka looked around and said: 'These are his three young men.' She named the three islets 'the handsome youths of Te Taanga, who are standing in the water'.

The dream soul of Hau Maka continued her journey and went ashore on the (actual Easter) Island. The dream soul saw the fish Mahore, who was in a (water) hole to spawn (?), and she named the place Pu Mahore A Hau Maka O Hiva.

It was a symbol of the emperor Tchoun Hin, in whose reign was a great deluge; but after the Jesuits came in it became Paou Ping, the Precious Vase.

In Sweden the custom is to throw the Christmas Tree away 20 days after December 24 (358), which means in day 378 (the synodic cycle of Saturn). The name of this day (January 13) is Knut (Knot).

... When it was evident that the years lay ready to burst into life, everyone took hold of them, so that once more would start forth - once again - another (period of) fifty-two years. Then (the two cycles) might proceed to reach one hundred and four years. It was called 'One Age' when twice they had made the round, when twice the times of binding the years had come together. Behold what was done when the years were bound - when was reached the time when they were to draw the new fire, when now its count was accomplished. First they put out fires everywhere in the country round. And the statues, hewn in either wood or stone, kept in each man's home and regarded as gods, were all cast into the water. Also (were) these (cast away) - the pestles and the (three) hearth stones (upon which the cooking pots rested); and everywhere there was much sweeping - there was sweeping very clear. Rubbish was thrown out; none lay in any of the houses ...

... In China, every year about the beginning of April, certain officials called Sz'hüen used of old to go about the country armed with wooden clappers. Their business was to summon the people and command them to put out every fire. This was the beginning of the season called Han-shih-tsieh, or 'eating of cold food'. For three days all household fires remained extinct as a preparation for the solemn renewal of the fire, which took place on the fifth or sixth day after the winter solstice [Sic! Though their solstice may have corresponded to "December 30] ...

... Among the Nahyssan of S. Carolina time was measured and a rude chronology arranged by means of strings of leather with knots of various colour, like the Peruvian quipos. The Dakota use a circle as the symbol of time, a smaller one for a year and a larger one for a longer period: the circles are arranged in rows, thus: OOO or O-O-O. The Pima of Arizona make use of a tally. The year-mark is a deep notch across the stick ...

It seems reasonable to primarily understand the kuhane stations as places in the structure on the path of the Sun in his yearly cycle, making it rather meaningless to search for them in the geography of space. We can assume they were (re-)defined in Roman times and then applied in a general sense, finally to be documented in Manuscript E by using the well known local geography and the figure of Makoi (possibly a version of the Mayan 7-Macaw, Ursa Major) in order to make people remember (not forget).

 

The 3 islets outside the southwestern corner of Easter Island served perfectly well for making people not forget where the year was beginning:

kai viri kai viri.ko raua ana a totoru.

Unforgotten are they, these three.

peira tokoa te kainga e moe mai era

And therefore this is the (right) land lying there;

ko te pito o te kainga i nape ai e toona kuhane.

this is Te Pito O Te Kainga, which also received its name from the dream soul.

Makoi got up and began to familiarize himself with the (new) land. (This took place) on the fifteenth day of the month of June ('Maro'). He went toward the sheer face of the rocks (titi o te opata), was astonished (aaa), came up to the middle (of the outer rim of the crater), and stood at the very edge.

He looked down and saw the 'Pu Mahore of Hau Maka' (on the coast) and said, 'There it is, the hole of the mahore fish of Hau Maka!' He turned his face and looked toward the back (i.e., in the direction of the crater). No sooner had he seen how the dark abyss opened up (below him), when a fragrant breeze came drifting by. Again Makoi said, 'This is the dark abyss of Hau Maka'. He turned around, walked on in utter amazement, and arrived at the house. He spoke to Ira, 'Hey you, my friends! How forgetful we (truly) are. This place is adequate (? tau or 'beautiful'), the dark abyss lies there peacefully!' Ira replied, 'And what should that remind us of up here?' All arose and climbed up. They went on and arrived; they all had a good look (at the inside of the crater). They returned home and sat down. Night fell, and they went to sleep ...

... This mythical bird is Itzam-Yeh, Classic prototype of Wuqub-Kaqix, 'Seven-Macaw', of Popol Vuh fame. In that story, in the time before the sky was lifted up to make room for the light, the vainglorious Seven-Macaw [= Ursa Major] imagined himself to be the sun. Offended by his pride, the Hero Twins humbled him by breaking his beautiful shining tooth [possibly Thuban which shone closely above our Ursa Major] with a pellet from their blowgun. This pot shows One-Ahaw aiming at the bird as he swoops down to land in his tree. As Itzam-Yeh lands on his perch, the text tells us he is 'entering or becoming the sky'.

... The star which at the time of Seven-Macaw (the 7 stars of Ursa Major) had pointed out the position at the center of the Whirlpool was Alioth (ε Ursae Majoris) ... In 3149 BC the stars were positioned 70 right ascension days earlier than at the time of rongorongo. Therefore η Andromedae (at Legs, the place of the Wolf) would have risen with the Sun in 91 (April 1) - 70 = 21 January (= 32 days after the solstice). At that time of the year Alioth would have been close to the Full Moon in day 21 + 183 = 204 (23 July) ...

... The date in the year 3149 BC, when the false sun bird Itzam-Yeh (alias Seven-Macaw) had been defeated, was 28 May and at the time of rongorongo the alpha-star of the Bull (Aldebaran) rose heliacally in May 28 (148) ...

Last 4 of the first 7 places named by Makoi:

Possibly these places were alluding also to the change from the Julian spring equinox to the Gregorian spring equinox:

... When the Pope rearranged the day for spring equinox from number 84 ('March 25) to number 80 (ºMarch 21) the earlier Julian structure was buried, was covered up (puo). At the same time the Pope deliberately avoided to correct the flow of Julian calendar days for what he may have regarded as 4 unneccesary leap days prior to the Council of Nicaea. Thus his balance sheet for days was in order. The day numbers counted from the equinox were increased with 4 and this was equal to allowing the 4 'unneccessary' leap days to remain in place. But he had moved spring equinox to a position which was 4 days too early compared to the ancient model ... These '4 unneccessary leap days' (prior to the Council of Nicaea) were equal in number to the precessional distance in time between the Pope and the time of rongorongo. The Gregorian calendar could therefore be easily understood by the Easter Islanders. The Pope had created a 'crooked calendar' but since his time the precession had fixed it ...

 ... A sidelight falls upon the notions connected with the stag by Horapollo's statement concerning the Egyptian writing of 'A long space of time: A Stag's horns grow out each year. A picture of them means a long space of time.' Chairemon (hieroglyph no. 15, quoted by Tzetzes) made it shorter: 'eniautos: elaphos'. Louis Keimer, stressing the absence of stags in Egypt, pointed to the Oryx (Capra Nubiana) as the appropriate 'ersatz', whose head was, indeed, used for writing the word rnp = year, eventually in 'the Lord of the Year', a well-known title of Ptah. Rare as this modus of writing the word seems to have been - the Wörterbuch der Aegyptischen Sprache (eds. Erman and Grapow), vol. 2, pp. 429-33, does not even mention this variant - it is worth considering (as in every subject dealt with by Keimer), the more so as Chairemon continues his list by offering as number 16: 'eniautos: phoinix', i.e., a different span of time, the much-discussed 'Phoenix-period' (ca. 500 years) ...

When it grew light, Makoi arose again. He went off to further explore the area. He went along and came to the 'dark rat'. He looked around and said: 'Here we are at the dark rat of Hau Maka'. He gave it the name Te Kioe Uri A Hau Maka. He went on and came to Te Piringa Aniva. When he arrived there, he looked around and gave the name Te Piringa Aniva. He went on and came to Te Pei, looked around, and said, 'Here it is!' So he gave the name Te Pei A Hau Maka. He went on, all alone he went on, and came to Te Pou. When he arrived there, he looked around and again said, 'Here it is!' and gave the name Te Pou A Hau Maka.

For some reason nothing was said about Te Manavai, which in the journey of the kuhane came between Poko Uri and Te Kioe Uri.

... The dream soul climbed up and reached the rim of the crater. As soon as the dream soul looked into the crater, she felt a gentle breeze coming toward her. She named the place Poko Uri A Hau Maka O Hiva.  The dream soul continued her search for a residence for King Matua. The dream soul of Hau Maka reached (the smaller crater) Manavai and named the place Te Manavai A Hau Maka O Hiva.  The dream soul went on and reached Te Kioe Uri. She named the place Te Kioe Uri A Hau Maka O Hiva ...

... Manavai Hollow where rainwater accumulates; anciently, small, round gardens, preferably situated in low shady spots, where the mahute tree was grown. Vanaga. 1. Brain. 2. Valley, ravine, river, torrent, brook; manavai miro, orchard, Mq.: manavai, valley, brook. Ta.: anavai, river, brook. It scarcely appears that these are fully coordinate. In Tahiti anavai has a clear etymology, ana meaning the bed of a stream. In Rapanui and in the Marquesas mana most readily associates with maga, as water in a forked bed. Churchill ...

However, Manuscript E seems to offer an explanation in the way Makoi remembered how he documented the name: ... I wrote (ta) Te Manavai A Hau Maka on the surface of a banana leaf (kaka), and this is how I left it

Much points at the 3 great 'stone heaps' on the Gizah plateau, which people would remember when discussing the 3 islets on the other side of the stretch of water southwest (toga) of the mainland. To the west of the Nile there were burial grounds.

The father of Khufu, viz. Sneferu, was the one who began building great stone pyramids in ancient Egypt. But of his 3 prominent 'stone heaps' one appeared to be broken, having 8 sides (→ the Moon) instead of 4 'faces'. (52 + 52 = 104 = 8 * 13.)

... When it was evident that the years lay ready to burst into life, everyone took hold of them, so that once more would start forth - once again - another (period of) fifty-two years.

Rubbish was thrown out; none lay in any of the houses...

Sneferu also built a great red (→ the Sun) pyramid in the fashion which later became standard:

and then there was the 3rd weak one in Meidum - which could not stand tall but collapsed.

Taken together we can perceive a pattern similar to that in Teotihuacan with buildings for the Moon, for the Sun, and for the Feathered Serpent:

The Citadel would then correspond to the Collapsed Pyramid at Meidum:

And in Teotihuacan, we can see, there were 13 (= 104 / 8) 'canoe sheds' of various sizes and shapes close to the Pyramid of the Moon.
